Good or Bad college essay.

<p>I recently got to watch a double knee replacement surgery and was wondering if it would be a good idea to write an essay about it and how it made me want to be a surgeon even more. I would also include how anxious i was and the total experience.</p>

<p>This will be for the commmon app early action btw. Admission essay.</p>

<p>Sounds good but which prompt?</p>

<p>I’m don’t sure</p>

<p>The Common Application did away with “Topic of Your Choice” because they want students to thoughtfully write on a specific prompt. If you try to fit “Topic Of Your Choice” into one of the 5 new essay prompts, then you run the risk of not answering the question. And for some colleges, that might sink your application. Good luck!</p>
